I have a hp a405n desktop running windows xp, a canon i860 printer connected
to a usb port on the desktop, a wireless router connected by ethernet cable
to the desktop, and a macbook laptop running os x. The laptop has no problem
seeing and sharing files with the desktop via the wireless network. It also
sees the printer, but is unable to print to it. Both the laptop and the
desktop have the i860 printer driver installed. The print job moves from the
laptop to the desktop printer queue and the print queue states that the
document is 'printing', but nothing comes out of the printer.
